Ordering a Ram 1500 Classic Express. May I just say on silicones if they smell like vinegar don't use that type that's acid and it will corrode the raw steel you exposed by drilling

I bought the same kit. Lights looked great but the gaskets on mine did not hold up to the sun's UV. Gasket deteriorated in a matter of months and caused leaking. Such a pain in the ass. I ended up just forking out the $170 bucks for the oem mopar kit. Gaskets on this kit are way better quality and so far so good.

Good to know I however added silicone around the holes for added protection.

It looks like the in-line fuse is going to end up inaccessible after everything goes back together. I'd be inclined to run it somewhere I can get at it if I need to. Maybe a spare position in the fuse box rather than an in-line.

Did the kit come with the fuse? And all connectors you needed? Also did it come with enough wire to reach all the way over or did you have to buy any additional stuff

Curious if you saw any factory sound deadening on the sheet metal on the roof? I'm debating lowering my headliner to apply a dynamat type material to help with sound control. Any observation is appreciated. If they did this from the factory, I'll just leave well enough alone. BTW, high 5 lights you did in this project look good! Already have them in my 3500 but might be worth swapping to the LEDs.

@markmanning67733 жыл бұрын
@@FrostbiteRam huh? You tapped into a circuit designed to supply the headlights and running lights. You don’t ever add more lights to a circuit like that without at least knowing how many amps that circuit can handle and what load you will be adding to it. That’s how fires are started. The correct way to do it would be to tap into the headlight circuit like you did but just to trigger a relay circuit for your new lights because a trigger wire does not draw hardly any current at all. Fortunately those led cab marker lights probably do not draw very much current but you should look into it.
